As it turned out, no tornado...that I know of anyway...touched down. Everybody was so glad too! But we did have ridiculous rain and wind!! You can see the report HERE. (Chicopee is our neighbor town)
Unfortunately hubby's garden has taken a beating too! Maybe to the point of no recovery for this year. :-( He's very sad about it too. This is what he saw when he first went out the door this morning...
He thought: "Oh! That's sad, but it's not so bad." But when he turned the corner to really see his little garden that last year had beautiful hearty sunflowers in it, like this.....
...and which, just a couple of days ago, was growing crazy like this...
...He saw this...... :-(
It's all drooped over....Stems are broken.....
Isn't that the saddest thing you ever seen?!!.....Well, keeping it in perspective, that's probably not the saddest thing you've ever seen!...But looking at my hubby's poor sad face and drooped over demeanor is running a close 2nd to the saddest thing I've ever seen. :-(
Needless to say, there will be no sad songs played in this house today. In fact, I'm trying my best to give him the 'Rubber Tree Plant' attitude....Maybe these young ladies' version, with sign language, will make him feel better!
They were good.... :-) ...but I don't think it's working very well.....yet. But, you know me, I'll keep working at it!!....If I get desperate I'll encourage him by threatening to crochet him a protective garden muffler! ^_^ Or he can just keep listening to the little tune that the washer is playing for him! ^_^ {Yep! We got it!!!}
I'm sure hubby will be fine after a day of that! And with me yapping at him, don't you think?! ^_^ I KNOW I'm not gonna show him today's poem!!!
Oh Well, I hope, at least, that you all have a good day!
Daisy, Pretty Daisy
Daisy, pretty daisy,
with your petals all sprawled out;
Making sunshine, bees and children
wonder what you're all about.
All spread out in the garden,
up the sidewalk, down the lane;
So much prettier to look at
than all those street lights down on Main.
Daisy, pretty daisy,
in your red or white or pink.
Letting bees and flies land on you
so that they can take a drink.
It's hard to see you basking
in the sun and not just smile,
'cause you look like friends just hanging out
and talking for a while.
Daisy, pretty daisy,
rain or shine you have no care.
You just smile at passersby
and make us happy that you're there.
